## Setup


### Prerequisites

#### 

Before using the API, you'll need to enable API access on your SMSEagle device by following these steps:

1. Navigate to the Web-GUI and select the "Users" menu.
2. Create a new user account with "User" access level.
3. Locate the "Access to API" option next to your newly created user.
4. Select APIv2 and click the "Generate new token" button to create your API access token.
5. Set up the appropriate permissions in the APIv2 Permission section.

Optional: Enable the "Access to resources of all users" checkbox if you want this API key to access data across all users. By default, the API key can only access data created under its credentials.



### Configuration

```

#### via File

The configuration file name for this integration is `health_alarm_notify.conf`.


You can edit the configuration file using the [`edit-config`](https://github.com/netdata/netdata/blob/master/docs/netdata-agent/configuration/README.md#edit-a-configuration-file-using-edit-config) script from the
Netdata [config directory](https://github.com/netdata/netdata/blob/master/docs/netdata-agent/configuration/README.md#the-netdata-config-directory).

```bash
cd /etc/netdata 2>/dev/null || cd /opt/netdata/etc/netdata
sudo ./edit-config health_alarm_notify.conf
```

##### Examples

###### Basic Configuration



```yaml
#------------------------------------------------------------------------------
# SMSEagle options

SEND_SMSEAGLE="YES"
SMSEAGLE_API_URL="XXXXXXXX"
SMSEAGLE_API_ACCESSTOKEN="XXXXXXX"
SMSEAGLE_MSG_TYPE="sms"
SMSEAGLE_CALL_DURATION="10"
SMSEAGLE_VOICE_ID="1"
DEFAULT_RECIPIENT_SMSEAGLE="+11222333444"

```


## Troubleshooting

### Test Notification

You can run the following command by hand, to test alerts configuration:

```bash
# become user netdata
sudo su -s /bin/bash netdata

# enable debugging info on the console
export NETDATA_ALARM_NOTIFY_DEBUG=1

# send test alarms to sysadmin
/usr/libexec/netdata/plugins.d/alarm-notify.sh test

# send test alarms to any role
/usr/libexec/netdata/plugins.d/alarm-notify.sh test "ROLE"
```

Note that this will test _all_ alert mechanisms for the selected role.
